RICK DALLAGO is a painter, film producer, and arts instructor/consultant. He was raised in NYC, lived in LA for 30 years, and relocated to Colorado in 2019. His paintings are often satirical & humorous. He considers himself a “snarky- Norman Rockwell.”
“It’s important for my films, paintings, and photos to convey a narrative… to tell a story. As a kid, I wrote & directed plays for my neighborhood in Far Rockaway, NY. I am grateful to my family for encouraging creativity and my pursuit of a film career. I love art, movies, photography, and political cartoons. “
Since 2017, Rick has exhibited his artwork at the PALM SPRINGS MODERISM SHOW, NUETRA MUSEUM, MUSEUM OF BOULDER, ANNENBERG FOUNDATION, WALTER MACIEL GALLERY, SOUTH BAY CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM, ART SHARE LA, MUSEUM OF TORRENCE, OLD WEST MUSEUM of CHEYENNE, FOUNDRY ARTS CENTER, BLUELINE ARTS, COASTLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE, LONGMONT MUSEUM, LINCOLN GALLERY, LOUISVILLE CENTER FOR THE ARTS, R GALLERY, RAYBACK, NIZA KNOLL GALLERY, ARTISTS ON SANTA FE, D’ART GALLERY, DENVER ART SOCIETY, IMPROPER CITY, ODELL’S, MILLER & ROSSI, etc..

“It doesn’t make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said.”
As a producer, his films include: BLUE CRUSH, CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL, INTO THE BLUE, CHEATERS, TURISTAS, & THINGS BEHIND THE SUN—nominated for 5 Emmys; winner of the Peabody & Edgar Allen Poe Award. Prior to producing, Rick worked in various production capacities on FATHER OF THE BRIDE 1&2, THE DOORS, CITY SLICKERS 2, BABY BOOM, THE PICKUP ARTIST, ISHTAR, etc.
“Since moving to Colorado. I’m focusing on creating opportunities for local artists to sell art. Creating the AVALON ARTS FESTIVAL in Boulder has been a high point—featuring 60 artists, musicians and dance companies. Attendance has been through the roof.”
These hand-tinted photos of me hung in my grandmother's house. I love the color-effect.
